Parliament must review new "undesirable" businesses list
17 July 2014
The DA will write to the Minister of Trade and Industry, Rob Davies, and demand that he clearly explain the reasons behind the limitations placed on corporate visa applications in relation to various business undertakings.
We will also request that Portfolio Committee of Trade and Industry review this list and its impact on our economy.
The Ministry of Home Affairs, following consultations with the Department of Trade and Industry, is now set to revoke corporate visa applications so far as they relate to an undertaking to participate in the hospitality industry, exotic entertainment, fast - food outlets and franchises and the cosmetic and beauty industry.
This is yet another measure that will make it difficult to invest in South Africa and therefore limit growth and job creation.
